Another year, another Resident Evil HD Remaster from Capcom. This time they did a good job overhauling the cult classic from the GameCube era. We are happy with its looks and the new control scheme but the changes made to the inventory turn it into the most tedious and slow-paced game in the franchise.

A classic after all these years, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen has certainly been outclassed in many areas and this PC port shows it, but its peerless combat and peon mechanics are still features that many current day games would benefit from incorporating.

Amplitude is a game best enjoyed in short bursts. Despite the lack of a remarkable soundtrack, its contents are very enjoyable and the simplicity of its mechanics makes you want to play it over and over again, although it may not keep you entertained for many hours in a row.

A great reconstruction of the action-platform genre of the eighties, albeit not a step forward, Issyos is another incredible work from Locomalito, probably the best indie game designer in the Spanish-speaking countries.

Abysmal, one of the least interactive videogames ever made by Nintendo. Don't buy this.

Beyond: Two Souls didn't live up to the expectations created by its huge production values. It is not a good game or a good movie and neither its resolution nor its framerate will change that. Thus, the virtue behind this new release is to appear better than it really is.

Its gameplay may be solid but Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is a very weak package that lacks campaign or training modes. You can't help but feel that this was rushed to fill a gap in the Wii U's release calendar for this Christmas. The multiplayer component could at least give some hours of fun to those players looking for a challenge with the best of the best.

An outstanding open-world JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X is precisely what the Wii U needed: an ambitious title with hundreds of hours of adventure. The improved combat mechanics, mechs and massive content make it a must buy for the owners of the platform.

Sword Art Online may not be the game fans deserve, but it is at least a nice iteration that they will enjoy. It does not have the greatest game mechanics but its simplicity should appeal to those curious players that would like to taste this game. You will give it a try for the main campaign but stay for the multiplayer experience.

The Rainbow Six Siege core experience lies in its destruction engine which dynamically modifies the world around you. The matches might take some time to take off as the game rewards patience and strategic thinking. A solid pick for FPS enthusiasts that crave something different than gun and run.

A powerful Russian existential classic, Pathologic returns in the first good official translation to ever appear in the West. Despite its outdated gameplay, graphics and some other annoyances, the game retains its power to amaze us and make us think. Recommended for connoisseurs and expert players.

A shallow yet explosive experience, Just Cause 3 may not satisfy all tastes but if you are looking for chaos in its purest form, you won't be disappointed. Having said that, the game lacks variety, has some performance issues and its online structure seems uninspired. A fun but unrefined experience overall.

A gruesome descent into hell filled with relentless challenge in every inch, The Old Hunters is a great continuation of Bloodborne, even if it ends feeling rather short and some recycled elements make it lose some luster.

Tales of Zestiria celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series with an ordinary game bent on keeping the old school formula of the JRPG genre alive.

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void is the epic conclusion to the Blizzard trilogy. This release represents a captivating breath of fresh air for a new generation. Legacy of the Void is the best in the series, with strong storytelling and deep mechanics challenging enough for rookies and experts in the genre.

Star Wars Battlefront is more about looks and fun than it is about depth and challenge. The real problem, though, is the lack of content. If you are a Star Wars Battlefront, you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a lengthy, juicy experience, on the other hand, you may want to look someplace else or buy the pricey season pass.

Despite some disheartening bugs, Vermintide is much more than a mere Left 4 Dead clone: relentless action, endless waves of enemies and true co-op action makes it worthy of your time.

This was meant to be the Call of Duty that revolutionized the way in which we approach the campaign, but what we received instead was some sort of experiment that did not fulfill its goal. The zombie and multiplayer modes are, without a doubt, the strongest elements Call of Duty: Black Ops III has to offer.

Full perfection in the purest genre of videogames, Mushihimesama is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it was the mantra behind Rise of the Tomb Raider's development: they took the formula from the last game, they added new elements to it and polished some of the mistakes. Sadly, though, the game is far from perfect. However, we are happy to know that the saga is in good hands... Welcome back Miss Croft!

Masterful design, excellent art direction and fresh gameplay elements turn Fallout 4 into a delightful, never-ending experience. It may not be perfect, but you won't want to miss it.

A lighthearted and enjoyable mix of Level-5 styled adventure game and creature collection combat, Yo-kai Watch may not become as popular as Pokémon outside of Japan, but it's definitely a charming adventure that children will definitely enjoy precisely for the reasons some adults will not get it: lot's of exploration, stylus combat and lots of potty jokes.

Driveclub Bikes is a friendly complement to anyone who cares about the misunderstood sport of motorcycling. It may not be as cheap as it should but at least it offers additional content to those who really enjoy the Driveclub service.

WWE 2K16 ends up being a disappointment despite the few additions implemented to offset its shortcomings. This year's release feels just like WWE 2K15 but with a different coat of paint. Even the great detail of the characters seems sabotaged by the lackluster aspect of the audience.

Faithful to the series but friendly to newbies, Anno 2205 lets you experience colonization in three different zones (Earth, Artic, Moon) at the same time, each with its own risks and rules, with gorgeous graphics and an intuitive UI. However, lack of multiplayer and somehow of a more streamlined experience may be disappointing for the veteran.

Guitar Hero Live represents a re-release of the franchise, bent on bringing innovation and relevance back to a lost genre; its production values are off the charts, but the game leaves behind some essential features such as challenge, social gameplay and content preservation.

Need for Speed certainly looks better than ever, but in the process of recovering its visual identity, it loses some of its more amusing gameplay features such as over the top chases and simple but effective multiplayer structure. Need for Speed is more about neon lights than actual spark.

With each new entry, Telltale Games seems to learn even more about how to keep you waiting impatiently for their next game. Tales from the Borderlands is one of its finest titles so far, combining great characters with a good narrative and unforgettable moments.

Halo 5 has a short, albeit dramatic campaign, full of action and huge, visually striking environments that will leave you wanting for more, literally, because its ending is a little bit anticlimactic too. But, despite all of this, fans of the Halo Universe will have a great time playing through it, especially if they've got a team of friends at hand. And the multiplayer component might well be the best we've seen in all the series. Warzone will soon place itself among the most memorable and beloved game modes in the story of Halo.

Fun but lacking in depth, the co-op dungeon crawling action of Tri Force Heroes does not fail to amuse in local play, but is totally dreadful for the loners. A fine game, but at the end of the day it doesn't offer much.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is not a bad game, but the eagerness to release yearly iterations dilutes its quality in a sea of uninspired ideas, missed opportunities and an utter absence of innovation. Changing eras is OK and nobody calls Ubisoft's artistic skill into question, but that is no longer enough.

As you would expect from a point and click game, almost the complete value of Life is Strange resides on its narrative. There are a few moments in which gameplay takes center stage, but it ends up being crushed by the intensity of the story and the development of the characters. Having said that, in order to really enjoy the experience, you better play the complete game, as it is getting better with each chapter.

The first 3D simulator of bullfighting. The hideous presentation and repetitive mechanics of Toro greatly hinder what could have been a great game because of its mostly solid foundations. Frankly, a pretty bad defense for such a polemic practice.

A fantastic farewell for this Japanese cult classic, Farewell Umihara Kawase delivers the complex physics, amazing level design and high difficulty action of this franchise for the first time in the West. An amazing introduction to a forgotten franchise.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is an old school CRPG experience like no other available right now in the console market. It is unforgiving, deep and liberating. Turn-based RPG fans will be delighted with Wasteland 2 and shouldn't miss its release.

A very easy but nonetheless fun game, Yoshi's Woolly World has an impressive visual style paired with some great ideas. Unfortunately, the lack of challenge, some frustrating levels and its short ambitions hinder this creative game.

A boring and uninspired platformer hindered by baffling decisions like the ever-annoying stage roulette, Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash is, without doubt, the worst entry in the series. Avoid it.

Another high quality entry from CD Projekt RED, Hearts of Stone keeps the tone and essence of The Witcher but gives a very interesting twist to the "stoic monster hunter finds that humans are the true monsters" framework of the saga. Also, Shani will rekindle the heart of true fans. A fantastic effort worth your money.

Another generic title from Dimps, Soldiers' Soul has little to offer that hasn't been seen before, but the Latin American localization really takes this to another level for the numerous fans from those regions. Apart from that, little to no novelties and a recycled storyline signify little more than mediocrity for this game.

Much more than a simple Musou-styled tie-in title, Dragon Quest Heroes is a love letter to the fans of this JRPG saga and a proof that the right mechanics can add depth and variety to an stagnant genre. Also, the graphics and sound are truly fantastic. A truly commendable effort.

NBA 2K is back and it's bigger, stronger and better this year. Classic teams are still in the game and some teams for the Euroleague as well. MyCareer is a fun mode, but unfortunately, the Spike Lee story is a bit disappointing. Other modes like MyGM and MyTeam are back as well. Controls and gameplay are better than ever. If you love basketball, this is the game for you.

Rock Band 4 is, by no means, the best entry in the series. It has a limited set list and many of its trademarks were either omitted or diluted. Having said that, Harmonix improved the most important aspect: gameplay. The Freestyle Solos and a more social mode enhance the experience, making it deeper, and safeguarding the legacy of the franchise.

The best Transformers game ever made, Devastation is a fast paced hack 'n' slash experience that will be the joy of the nostalgic with its eighties look and VHS aesthetics, but will also conquer the hardcore gamer with a relentless challenge, tons of collectibles and replayability. Pure Platinum goodness.

Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide is a mixed bag: it is an expansion that fails to meet the standards of its classic counterpart; however, it adds much needed improvements to water combat and diplomacy. Recommended for completionists more than for newcomers, who should stick with Civilization V and its expansions.

A bit of a disappointment, Armikrog fails to surpass or even match the magic of The Neverhood due to repetitive puzzles, broken interfaces and a lackluster story. At least Armikrog brings more TenNapel visual goodness to compensate.

Adorable, but lacking in depth, Happy Home Designer is funny and charming, but ultimately fails to provide motivation and challenge for the player.

Deeply flawed, Might & Magic Heroes VII rests on solid foundations but ultimately ruins them with horrible performance, game-breaking bugs and poor presentation.

Skylanders SuperChargers is a lot of fun. It’s a simple yet magnificent looking game that displays effort in its production, despite its annual release cycle. The only complaints gravitate around the unimaginative use of the portal of power, some uncomfortable camera angles and the unavoidable feeling of playing an incomplete product unless you invest in further items.

With the addition of Star Wars to the mix, Disney Infinity 3.0 becomes a fresher experience for those in search of family games. However, the lack of polish becomes more notorious with each year that passes, showing that the annual schedule of the franchise is taking a serious toll on the overall presentation.

The three Uncharted titles are still as fun as ever, but now they are more enjoyable at 1080p and 60fps. Bluepoint Games also added a few new game modes and graphical enhancements. All in all, this is a great package, but we find the lack of multiplayer somewhat disappointing.

A notable improvement over its predecessor, Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson offers a nice mix of visual novel with intense hack n' slash action, tons of content, great fan-service, AR experiences and online interaction. A great ecchi game.

SOMA is a great psychological horror experience that sci-fi enthusiasts should not miss for the world. It’s a philosophical, deep, and well written story that encourages players to think and explore as they descent into the abyss.

A mesmerizing emotional trip, Undertale is an indie prodigy full of whimsical humor, battle system innovations and deep moral decisions, even if it feels underdeveloped at some points. You will not be the same after you play it.

Above all, The Taken King's new raid brings a whole new level of challenge and you will be forced to put your power and friendships to the test in your quest to bring down Oryx.

FIFA 16 doesn’t reinvent the wheel and needs to refresh its visuals but still, the addition of female soccer players with its own physics on top of the adjustments made on the pitch and to the career modes, make it a better game without a doubt.

Well done, endearing and completely free, this new expansion of Shovel Knight fulfills the Kickstarter promises of Yacht Club Games in an spectacular fashion, presenting us the charming pair of Plague Knight and Mona in an adventure full of comedy and charm that honours the name of indie gaming.

You shouldn’t expect anything from this game; it is fairly common to run into camera issues and problems with the controls. It is filled with technical mishaps that we are supposed to understand as a joke, but in the end, they take a very real toll on the overall experience. This game will be an amusing joke for some, but for the rest it won’t be a funny one.

PES 2016 sets the franchise on the right track. However, after so many years, PES Productions is still unable to correct those issues that, historically, have hampered the experience such as the lack of licenses and some hiccups in terms control responsiveness and pass precision.

Solid platforming effort from Hörberg Productions, Gunman Clive HD Collection mixes the best of the Mega Man tradition with endearing visuals, a varied cast of heroes and a whimsical western setting. Its only defect is leaving us craving for more.

With 460 cars and 26 tracks, Forza Motorsport 6 brings the big guns to "the best simulation game of the year" competition. Rain is the newest addition to the series, and it's great. You have double the cars than Forza 5 and a lot more tracks, but sadly, the simulation is almost the same.

A generic Musou but a great adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's work, Pirate Warriors innovates little in mechanics and has a cumbersome progression, but it compensates a little with massive content and lots of nods to the fans. A regular effort.

Mad Max could have been epic; it looks great and it can be so much fun at times, but it falls short of greatness due to an unimaginative structure.

Massive, complex, challenging, deep, ambitious and innovative, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is more than a mere video game, it's a life devoted to the medium. A game for the ages.

The ultimate creation tool, Super Mario Maker is the dream of many, with an elegant, easy to use interface and countless possibilities even if a little impaired by its dosed content and by some limitation to your creative choices. The best creation utility Nintendo has ever sold.

Tearaway Unfolded may not surpass its predecessor when it comes to quality, but it definitely does when it comes to contents and the way it taps into the qualities of the platform to achieve a level of interaction with the player that is rarely seen.

SMITE is the first MOBA ever to perform great on console. Definitely, the third person perspective is what the genre needed to excel in home systems and controller schemes, which represents a breath of fresh air on Xbox One.

The definitive version of SAO's videogame adaptation, Re: Hollow Fragment suffers from an identity crisis being on PS4, but shines overall with its loyalty to the series and its visual novel elements.

A well presented anthological compilation of the NES blue bomber classics, Mega Man Legacy Collection is a fine package for the retro enthusiast, even if it lacks some ulterior and crucial entries of this franchise. A fine deal for the enthusiast and the long time fan.

Draft Champions and the improved passing game confirm Madden NFL 16 as one of the best sporting experiences out there. Having said that, this is not the revolutionary title it was last year.

Until Dawn is fun and will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it is also a one-off experience. The game has its flaws but it delivers, because it doesn't try to revolutionize the industry, only to satisfy horror movie fans with silly lines, stereotypes and above all else, jump scares that will make you laugh out of nerves.

Fun, challenging and fresh even so many years after the original release, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition shows everyone how to do a proper remaster of a beloved video game. Newcomers and veterans alike will love this. A truly Ultimate Edition.

Despite its excellent graphics and animations, Beyond Eyes is just a piece of software; one that feels more like a technical demo than a game, properly speaking.

The best hacking simulation videogame to date, Hacknet leaves us wanting more of its honest and detailed portrayal of the hacking underworld. Without a doubt, is the greatest (legal) hacking experience available.

Kyn is a strategic game that draws inspiration from RPG's like Pillars of Eternity, and monster slaying action elements from Diablo III. The problem with such mix is that it fails to innovate the core essence of the original games due to many technical difficulties and programming bugs. What is left is the free attribute system for characters which is not enough to captivate and engage the player.

The lack of revolutionary game design turns this into a hard-to-swallow experience without the appropriate mindset. An interesting effort nonetheless.

A solid roguelike space shooter with sleek anime style, Galak-Z: The Dimensional is a dashing mix of old arcade challenge and modern design traits. A highly recommendable indie game.

Despite its depth and good looks, Nom Nom Galaxy falls victim to repetitive mechanics, frustrating mobility and slow progression. Fortunately, this soup is cheap enough as to seduce you if you love factories or robots.

A great premise, although not an equally great game, Spooky's House of Jumpscares makes for a fascinating experience of cute horror that doesn't fall flat.

While adding great purchase value to the mix is something we love, in the end the poor Xbox 360 emulation and other technical problems hinder an otherwise great pack of classic games.

A new low for the series, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is a poor effort in almost every respect, an exercise in mediocrity better suited for YouTube than for an actual playthrough.

An exercise in tedium, Farming Simulator 15 has a very laudable compromise with the recreation of agriculture, but its problematic progression, poor presentation and general dullness detract from its genuine potential as the best simulator on the subject.

This War of Mine represents the living proof that it is possible to make an intelligent depiction of war without necessarily compromising the entertainment value or the mechanics involved in a good game.

Rocket League turns an amazing and simple concept into a well executed game.

This first attempt from Codemasters to bring the F1 Championship to the next-gen consoles lacks a better carreer mode and they absolutely need to fix the multiplayer. If you enjoy only driving without caring for a more in depth carreer mode, you should give this a try, because the simulation is the only good thing about this game.

Destroying cities and fighting other Kaijus is fun at first, but the joy Godzilla offers vanishes in a couple of gaming sessions. Godzilla was created for the fans, but at some point the development took a turn for the worse and it ended up turning into a game that would've been better on mobile.

A competent isometric roguelike, Victor Vran innovates in mechanics and character progression but suffers a little because of poor variety and insufficient content.

Legions of Steel is a recreation of the classic tabletop game from the 90s. It excels at conveying the original feel of the game thanks to its well implemented mechanics. At its core, Legions of Steel is a tactical turn-based action experience that rewards the top quality strategist. It may display a simplistic appearance, but Legions of Steel is a challenge for veterans of the genre.

A visual revamp of the original title, the Remastered edition of God of War III adds little to the package. However, it's a great game even by modern standards. Fans and newcomers will enjoy the great combat thanks to the new resolution and constant frame rate.

It may not be the best-looking MMORPG out there and its social tools could use some serious work, but in the end, The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited offers an intuitive and competent experience for console gamers and Skyrim fans alike.

Despite the fact that Her Story barely qualifies as a game, it has a lot to offer, especially when it comes to narrative; having said that, it won't satisfy all tastes, it is a game for the ones looking to be amazed.

J-Stars Victory VS+ is a love letter to manga and anime fans, specifically those who enjoy Weekly Shonen Jump. True fans of the genre will find the story mode entertaining as well as the references to many renown franchises, while outsiders are left with nothing of interest at all.

A triumph of raw substance over style, Legends of Eisenwald constantly wins over the heart of the RPG connoisseur despite its incompleteness thanks to its deep battle system and well crafted adventures. A great game for strategy experts.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward represents a fairly large expansion of the world of Eorzea with huge and rich environments for the players to explore. Heavensward continues the story of the Warrior of Light in a rich and somber tone, focusing in solving the conflict rather than wasting your time with trivial quests.

Payday 2: Crimewave Edition offers solid and entertaining cooperative action. It is best played with like-minded friends that are willing to interact, communicate and orchestrate heists. Sadly though, the progression system demands a heavy time investment in order to unlock weapons, which may be an impediment to some players.

Unlike other entries in the LEGO series, such as LEGO Batman, in LEGO Jurassic World, collectable characters are irrelevant, there are just a few zones were you can actually use your dinosaurs and they lack activities. Bottom line, this game works better as a souvenir than a videogame.

Rocksteady says farewell to the franchise with an utter masterpiece; its best game so far. Each element feels like a love letter to fans and to Batman himself. Batman: Arkham Knight is the perfect conclusion to an excellent saga, and it departs in the same way it once came: leaving us amazed and with great satisfaction.

Massive Chalice is a fun and simple turn based strategic game, but not quite as engaging as the XCOM games it tries to be.

The timeless classic finally gets the treatment it deserves. This edition may seem a little unnecessary for some players, but the improvements, tweaks and new characters were a duty long past due for this action gem.
